Governor No Show

Gov. Easley's failure to show up at any of the three appearances that Senator John Kerry has made in North Carolina were embarrassments to the Democratic Party, but they went by as sort of unremarkable and "par for the course" with this particular governor, who doesn't much show up for ANYTHING that involves living people who don't also happen to have big fat check books.

But in this morning's "Under the Dome" column in the Raleigh News & Observer, Easley was asked point-blank if he would show up for ANY Kerry appearance in the state:

"Well...," Easley responded, "it would depend on whether I was at one of my campaign stops."

Say WHAT?

"We'll take that for a 'No,' " the N&O commented (here, and scroll down).
